| Browns Coach Pat Shurmur Leaning Toward Keeping Colt McCoy As His Backup QB? | | |
Browns coach Pat Shurmur sounds like he's leaning toward keeping quarterback Colt McCoy as his backup. Before practice on Sunday, he praised McCoy effusively -- the most positive comments he's made about him all preseason.
"I think he's done an outstanding job here in training camp,'' said Shurmur. "I'm very pleased with where he's at. I gained an even greater appreciation of him, the way he's competed, the way he's handled the situation, let's just call it that. I'm very impressed with how he's doing. I think that's good for our team. He understands one of the primary things you need to understand as a backup at this point -- to be ready to play -- because you're ankle injury from being in there, and he's been on both sides of that coin and so he understands it.''
Working with the second-team offense against the Eagles' backups, McCoy earned a stellar 138.0 rating and orchestrated a 15-play 78-yard TD drive in the third and fourth quarters. It ended with a 3-yard TD pass to tight end Evan Moore.
